Tar, ash and nicotine plus many more things will end up in your lungs when inhaling cigarette smoke. These can damage the tiny hairs that your respiratory tract uses to clean itself and over time causes COPD. The tar and ash can cause lung cancer.

How much tar would be on your lungs after smoking for one year?

I'm pretty sure it was if you smoked 20+ cigarettes a day (the average no. for a smoker) , after one year you would be left with 1.5 pounds of tar in your lungs just looking at the pictures of smokers lungs and hearing what it can do to you would be enough to stop anyone smoking! I don't know why anyone would want to do that to themselves?! The pictures of 'smokers' lungs' are usually of the DISEASED lungs of PIGS or even lungs of pigs soaked in chemicals. Coloration of the lungs is caused by disease and the undiseased lungs of a smoker and non-smoker look exactly the same. By the above estimate, a lifetime smoker for fifty years would be carrying 75 pounds of tar in their lungs!!! The amount of tar produced by a typical cigarette is 7 milligrams. The average smoker smokes around 100 cigarettes a week so, in a year, this would add up to around 35 grams or just over an ounce. Some of the tar is exhaled and the macrophages and mucus in the lungs break down all but minute traces of what remains.

Are inhaled and smoked different?

yes, but it depends, in cigarettes there is a tiny filter on the part you smoke into, so if you inhale cigarette some with out the cigarette it is actually worse than without the cigarette(unless you are talking about mouth cancer). With *pot* because it is made with out the filter i believe smoking would be worse yet, even if you don't inhales it or smoke it but you touch it, it is in your system, and it could do some junk to you.
